Sports charms are ideal for the true sporting enthusiast to express their love for their favorite activity.

These charms depict every sport imaginable – from running to rollerblading, cheerleading to curling, gymnastics to golf and everything in between with most sporting activities having been catered for by jewelry makers. Pieces can represent any facet of a sport including equipment and apparatus, as well as action scenes typical of that particular sport.

For example, if you were a tennis fanatic, an ideal charm setup and combination would be along the lines of a ball, racquet, net and an action shot of a person playing the game.

Italian Sports Charms and traditional chamrs

Italian sports charms are different from traditional charms, by the fact that they are depicted on the face of a square piece of metal more as an art scene. These also involve the use of color, and are generally smaller than traditional charms. Italian charms link together to make a band that goes around the wrist, rather than hanging off a chain like traditional charm bracelets.

While the majority of sports charms are produced in sterling silver, there are a number of manufacturers who produce them in gold for people who are looking for more refined and detailed pieces. Prices vary depending on which type of metal is used for constructing the charm, for example, silver sports charms start around a few dollars each and a relatively inexpensive, whereas gold sports charms start around the £25 mark and go upwards from there. With the gold option, it comes down to the purity of the gold used in the piece and the intricacy of the design which determine the price.

If the piece is a mechanical charm (in other words, it has moving parts) or is customized, then the price will be higher. It will be rare (if not impossible) to find gold mechanical charms on the market today as the cost of producing them is too high (and unprofitable) for commercial makers.
